Whole Path Course

Join Sharon for a six-week exploration of the Buddhist Eightfold Path. To progress along the Buddhist path it’s important to understand where we are going, and how the stages of our journey fit together. There’s no better guide to this terrain than Sharon Salzberg, a much-loved meditation teacher who has been instrumental in bringing the practices of lovingkindness and insight meditation to the West.

This course covers each aspect of the Buddha’s eightfold path. With heightened stability and attentiveness, we will look deeply into the nature of our experience. Such clear seeing will allow mind and heart to open to the Buddha’s transformative wisdom.

This path is a practical training and an ongoing program of development. Participants will benefit from Sharon’s years of teaching experience as she relates ancient Buddhist wisdom to contemporary life. Guided meditations will provide clarity and support for your practice, and there will be authentic reflections and inquiries to deepen and integrate meditative insights.

The Whole Path is suitable for both long-term meditators and beginners. Those who have been practicing for a long time will benefit from Sharon’s nuanced description of this path and how its various elements fit together as part of a lifelong journey. This will also provide a great starting point for beginners, who will be supported by Sharon’s clear guidance and an active, helpful community.

The course does not require knowledge of any special terms or techniques, and everyone is welcome to participate regardless of their prior experience. Beginners and experienced meditators alike will appreciate Sharon’s clarity and precision but also the warmth and humor she brings to spiritual life.
